Bexley, OH

Bexley is a small, affluent city surrounded by Columbus, known for historic homes, tree-lined streets, and Capital University. It has a close-in suburban feel, but its older neighborhoods and compact commercial areas give it more texture than a typical bedroom community. Bexley also sits near major Columbus institutions, including Ohio State University across the metro. The city feels established, academic, and residential, with schools and a civic identity that is distinct from the larger city around it.
